Guaifenesin and codeine are two different medications. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up, while codeine is an opioid used to relieve pain and suppress cough. When combined, they can help alleviate cough and congestion, but guaifenesin itself is not a "thin" substance; it works to thin mucus in the respiratory tract. Always consult a healthcare professional for specific medical advice.
Yes, especially those with guaifenesin as the active ingredient.
Codeine Guaifenesin 10-100 mg/5 mL is a combination medication that includes codeine, an opioid cough suppressant, and guaifenesin, an expectorant. It is effective for treating cough and relieving chest congestion associated with respiratory conditions. However, due to the presence of codeine, it is important to use this medication under medical supervision due to potential risks of addiction, respiratory depression, and side effects. Overall, it can be beneficial for specific cases but should be used cautiously.

Robitussin-AC, is a prescription antitussive containing Guaifenesin and Codeine. 5 mL of Robitussin-AC contains 100 mg of Guaifenesin, an expectorant 10 mg of Codeine, a cough suppressant. A normal dose of Robitussin-AC is 5-10 mL every 4-6hrs. Oxycodone (Percocet, Percodan, OxyIR, OxyContin) is a significantly different drug compared to codeine despite their chemical similarities. Oxycodone is semi-synthetic opioid partially derived from Codeine, a naturally occurring opiate alkaloid found in opium poppy. Oxycodone is a far more potent opioid commonly used for postoperative and chronic pain. Approximately 10 mg of oral Codeine is equivalent to 1 mg of oral Oxycodone. Codeine is a more effective antitussive than oxycodone thus codeine is commonly used in cough medications and for mild pain.

Oh, dude, taking naproxen, Robitussin, and guaifenesin-codeine together can be a wild ride! Naproxen is an NSAID, Robitussin is a cough suppressant, and guaifenesin-codeine is a cough syrup with codeine. Technically, they can be taken together, but it's always best to check with a doctor or pharmacist to avoid any unexpected surprises.
act as an expectorant by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of secretions in the trachea and bronchi. Thus, it may increase the efficiency of the cough reflex and facilitate removal of the secretions
Phenergan or Phenergan with codeine ? Either way , follow the dosage recommendations. Do not exceed them without consulting your doctor. Phenergan plain is more to thin secretions, so increase fluids. Phenergan w/codeine is to suppress cough. DO NOT take Phenergan w/ codeine with other cough syrup with dextromethorphan, also a cough supressant . You WILL get sick to you stomach. Try a tablespoon of honey to help supress the cough , if you have no food allergies.
